Who We Are: Discover the Heart and Mission of Messiah’s Harvest Ministries

We are followers of Yeshua (Jesus), committed to living in God’s presence and fulfilling His mission to gather His people into His house. We share faith and hope, support others in living a full life for God, and build biblical communities of faith.

Mission Statement

We reach out to the excluded, the lonely, and the disenfranchised—those often overlooked and marginalized, whether rich or poor, near or far. We bring faith, hope, healing, purpose, and fellowship to all.

Vision Statement

For every soul to find home, inclusion and fellowship with God.

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” – John 14:1-3

Our Values

We believe every person is created in God’s image and is precious in His sight. God loves each individual and desires that none should perish. We share this conviction and are committed to serving humanity in this spirit.

We see faith not merely as a belief, but as a way of life—one that cannot be replaced by institutions or rituals alone. We believe communities should be organic, shaped by God’s purpose, and focused on personal transformation, creativity, and the expression of God’s gifts in everyday life.

Each individual is a unique expression of this living faith. In all we do, we acknowledge the lordship of God and seek to follow His leading.

“And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.” – Leviticus 26:12

“My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. – Ezekiel 37:27

“…For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, ‘I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’” – Corinthians 6:16

What We Do

In Bangladesh, we support rural communities through initiatives that promote both self-reliance and God-reliance:

  1. Water Wells – Providing clean, safe drinking water for Christian communities.
  2. Agriculture – Cultivating rice and vegetable fields to improve food security.
  3. Livestock Programs – Providing chickens and goats, with families encouraged to share with neighbors.
  4. Fish Ponds – Establishing sustainable fish farming for nutrition and income.
  5. Local Evangelists – Equipping evangelists with bicycles to reach remote areas with the Gospel.
  6. House Reconstruction – Rebuilding homes after cyclones and ethnic violence. These homes also serve as spaces for home Bible fellowships and children’s schools.
  7. Literacy and Bible Distribution – Running literacy programs and distributing Bibles to foster both education and spiritual growth.
  8. Mission Trips – Organizing trips to proclaim God’s Good News and to train a new generation of local leaders.

In the Republic of Georgia, we:

  • Facilitate and support Bible home fellowships
  • Provide practical support for families in need

Our programs aim to bring about holistic transformation—spiritually, physically, and socially—by equipping communities through faith, self-sufficiency, and shared responsibility.

Our Leaders

Leading with a heart

Tom Aish

Founder

Since I first became a believer, these words have followed me everywhere: “The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes…” Like the wind sweeping through harvest fields, we follow the Spirit—going where He leads and gathering the harvest wherever and whenever it’s ready. That is our calling.

Founder
Ordained as a shaliach (messenger) through Beth Yeshua Messianic Jewish Congregation in Philadelphia, PA. Holds an MFA in Fine Arts and an MAICS (Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies) from Fuller Theological Seminary, with studies in fine arts, theology, and film.

Aly Ze

Co-Founder

I’m passionate about reaching those who feel unseen, left out, or forgotten—helping them discover that God sees them, knows them, and has a purpose for their lives. At the heart of my ministry is a desire to encourage others in discovering their identity in Messiah, recognizing the gifts He has placed within them, and deepening their relationship with Him.

Co-founder & Administrator
